Welcome to July!! How’s it been treating you so far?? And what a month it is. I have decided I think June and July could be my favorite “summer” months August is cool but I like the beginning of Summer. It’s not as hot as it could be (possibly) but yeah…
1. The 3rd marked 10 years since my job at Barnes & Noble ended! Our beloved store closed its doors for good and I then spent 3 weeks with my co-workers who still there closing it down. The most depressing thing ever and I hope I never have to do that again! I loved my job there and I was there almost 4 years still the longest I have ever been at one job. My life changed so greatly from that losing my job and not moving to another B&N. I could have moved on how different life could have been. I still love B&N and would love another shot at working with them but it hasn’t happened yet…
2. Didn’t work much this week. I worked last week on just Thursday night and Saturday afternoon. Today I worked but we are in a new week and new pay period. Work is fine. I am now at $9 an hour CA pt went up to that on July 1st. And I hit my 90 day mile stone with no celebration from anyone but me. But I remember. This is my first ACTUAL job not a seasonal job since working at Borders Books back in 2010! That is a long time for me to just be not working or just seasonal jobs. While I don’t complain seasonal is fine its easier to work a job where I know in 1 to 4 months I will still be working there unless for some reason I don’t but its not because the job ends. I am still sad wishing LL could have kept me back in 2012. But I am not complaining. However this week I need to stop being lazy and begin to look for 2nd job so I can be okay. As hours are not that great still. Twice a week (next week is 3x). Plus with Comic Con coming up I know I wont be working much that week and need to save $$ for things just twice a week gets me by and I cant really do anything other than bills and stuff I need to buy… So either more hours or a 2nd job I hope to get me by. Plus looking for an actual job that is for my career is a GOOD GOAL I need to work on!
3. This past week I had no workouts not even a simple walk. I however d id walk a long way on the 4th of July there and back for fireworks (more below). I also walked to the Sprinter twice yesterday and today. And on Monday we went on a small hike up in Fallbrook to Heller’s Bend. Boy was that a horrible steep hike and we didn’t even finish it. I am unsure if we will go back. But it was a nice change. Except not nice was the nasty bug which was in my face and trying to go in my ears the whole way up and back. Yeah no likey!
4. Saved my favorites of the week for now. On Tuesday we went to San Diego County Fair at Del Mar Fairgrounds. We only went from 5pm till 10pm. We had free tickets from the Country Run last month. So we just paid for parking and some food but not much. Got there at 5 parked walked over. And had some fun. We saw the Beatles thing they had up. Some animals. Rode 1 ride “Sky Ride” our favorite ride love it! My favorite of the night was seeing “Huey Lewis and the News” in person never have been to an 80s group concert. Loved it had SO much fun. Sure they didn’t play my favorite song but it was great. We left a little early to go to the Turkey Trot adorable fun watching baby turkeys run around. So we had fun that night!
5. On the 4th of July we went down to San Clemente and saw their fireworks. Our city had them on Thursday night and we wanted a beach show. We didn’t want to go to Danna Point so we did San Clemente and it was fun. It took forever to walk down to the beach we parked so far away. The show was like 20 mint long so it was awesome! And came home and just crashed. But yeah nice 4th. Last year we didn’t really see any up close and I am pretty sure in 2012 we did LL but unsure for sure. So yeah happy birthday America!
So the weather is warming up its been hotter this past week so we are now in our heat time. I hate that because its harder to try to sleep or nap. But few more weeks and will be back out. I have lived in AZ and TN it gets much hotter than this. So its miserable but its not as hot as I have lived… Well have a good week everyone! See you next weekend!
